Novel non-uniform Rowhammer access patterns, consisting of aggressors with different frequencies, phases, and amplitudes allow triggering bit flips on affected memory modules using our Blacksmith fuzzer. The patterns generated by Blacksmith were able to trigger bitflips on all 40 PC-DDR4 DRAM devices in our test pool, which cover the three major DRAM manufacturers: Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron. This means that, even when chips advertised as Rowhammer-free are used, attackers may still be able to exploit Rowhammer. For example, this enables privilege-escalation attacks against the kernel or binaries such as the sudo binary, and also triggering bit flips in RSA-2048 keys (e.g., SSH keys) to gain cross-tenant virtual-machine access. We can confirm that DRAM devices acquired in July 2020 with DRAM chips from all three major DRAM vendors (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) are affected by this vulnerability. For more details, please refer to our publication."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Los dispositivos DRAM modernos (PC-DDR4, LPDDR4X) est\u00e1n afectados por una vulnerabilidad en su mitigaci\u00f3n interna Target Row Refresh (TRR) contra los ataques Rowhammer. Los nuevos patrones de acceso Rowhammer no uniformes, que consisten en agresores con diferentes frecuencias, fases y amplitudes, permiten desencadenar cambios de bits en los m\u00f3dulos de memoria afectados usando nuestro fuzzer Blacksmith. Los patrones generados por Blacksmith fueron capaces de desencadenar cambios de bits en los 40 dispositivos DRAM PC-DDR4 de nuestro grupo de pruebas, que cubren los tres principales fabricantes de DRAM: Samsung, SK Hynix y Micron. Esto significa que, incluso cuando son usados chips anunciados como libres de Rowhammer, los atacantes pueden seguir siendo capaces de explotar Rowhammer. Por ejemplo, esto permite realizar ataques de escalada de privilegios contra el kernel o los binarios como el binario sudo, y tambi\u00e9n desencadenar cambio de bits en las claves RSA-2048 (por ejemplo, las claves SSH) para conseguir acceso a m\u00e1quinas virtuales de otros usuarios.
